Housing Authority Of The City Of Albany

Housing Authority Of The City Of Albany, doing business as Albany Housing Authority, is a U.S. government entity—a local housing authority operating as a federal grant recipient in Albany, Georgia—that receives formula and project grants from the Department of Housing and Urban Development's Public and Indian Housing Office to operate and modernize public housing inventory and deliver employment self-sufficiency services to low-income residents.

Albany Housing Authority operates exclusively as a prime recipient across federal grant programs, with no federal contracting or subcontracting activity in the source data. The organization's federal footprint is concentrated in two grantor agencies: HUD's Public and Indian Housing Office (121 awards, 99% of activity) and the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (1 award). Across 122 awards spanning 2006 to April 2026, the authority has obligated $71 million in combined federal funding.

HUD Public and Indian Housing Office grants dominate the award portfolio through three recurring formula and project grant programs. The Public Housing Operating Fund (CFDA 14.850) provides annual formula grants for day-to-day operational expenses, including management, routine and preventative maintenance, anti-crime and security activities, energy costs, resident supportive services, insurance, and administrative implementation. Recent operating-fund awards include $300,150 (Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2032) and $451,574 (Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2032). The Public Housing Capital Fund (CFDA 14.872) supports capital and management activities including construction, acquisition, rehabilitation, and upgrading of public housing units, with a recent $960,345 award (Apr. 1, 2026–Mar. 31, 2030). The Family Self-Sufficiency Program (CFDA 14.896) funds coordinator positions to implement employment and self-sufficiency services for public housing residents and housing-choice-voucher holders; recent awards include $115,825 (Jan. 1, 2026–Dec. 31, 2026) and a prior $115,825 award (Jan. 1, 2025–Dec. 31, 2025). The authority also received a $1.5 million project grant from the Department of Labor's Employment and Training Administration (ETA) in June 2023 for the YouthBuild Program, targeting 65 participants ages 16–24 who dropped out of high school, providing GED instruction, construction and healthcare certifications, and leadership training (ultimate completion Sep. 30, 2026).

Activity has remained flat at 4–5 awards per year over the past five years (2022–2026). Four awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, representing potential recompete or renewal cycles for the authority. All awards are formula or project grants with place of performance in Albany, Georgia 31701, and the authority operates with no federal contract vehicles or subcontracting relationships reflected in the source data.
